William Edelen on Wonder


If we are fortunate, we can rediscover wonder. We who have become so preoccupied with gaining and spending, with winning and losing, we have lost sight of the fact that we live surrounded by miracles. Wonder is the capacity of sustained joy and awe. Wonder is a sense of freshness and spontaneity.

Every day is a surprise party. Life is a cafeteria of delights, a new flower ... a hummingbird hovering ... a cucumber cucumbering. To sense the ultimate in the common, and in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal, is to live with wonder.
